Presumably you mean 'insulated', rather than 'isolated'? In which case it is rather obvious, isn't it? If the coils weren't insulated, then the individual windings would short-circuit, and the coil itself would short circuit with the core of the electromagnet.

How are the windings of an induction motor made?

The windings of magnet wire are made on a machine that counts the loops of wire as they are formed into usable coils. Once the coils are complete they are installed into the stator slots in a specific order.


What field coils of DC generator usually made of?

Usually enamelled copper wire.


How do you design wind turbine?

get a stick n a propeller n fix them the way that they make electricity is by moving an magnet inside coils of wire so attach a magnet to the inside of the propeller and wrap coils of wire around the magnet but with 1mm of space between. attach both ends of the wire to an applience e.g a light and it will work


True or false an electromagnet must include a coil of wire?

A magnetic field is induced by pushing current though a wire; so you could consider a straight wire an electromagnet. Using more coils will strenghten the electromagnet, though, so a straight wire version will be very weak comparitively.


When a section of electrified railway is isolated why are earth wires attached to the contact and return conductor wire?

When a section of the electrified railway is isolated, the earth wires are attached to the contact as they help it in grounding.

What are some ways to increase the magnetic field strength?

Increase the size of the magnet. Increase the current passing through the wires (electromagnets) Increase the number of coils of the wire (electromagnets)


Which of these must be used to create an electromagnet?

coils of wire, iron, and electric current


What are the types of magnets?

Ferro-magnets, permanent magnets, temporary magnets, and electromagnets. Ferro-magnets are magnets that are magnetic at a higher temperature than room temperature. do not quote me on that. permanent magnets are magnets that are always magnets, they are the kinds you use a lot. Temporary magnets are things that are magnetic in an extrenal magnetic field. Last but not least, electromagnets. Electromagnets are coils of wire around a cobalt, nickel, or iron. When ou run electricity through the wire, the core and wire become magnetic.


What is special about the metal Craig Wire sells?

Craig Wire sells wire and magnetic wire that can be used to make electromagnets. It is special because only certain types of wire are suitable for making electromagnets.


What do electromagnets look like?

Electromagnets come in multitudes of shapes and sizes. However, the most common electromagnets have copper wire wrapped around them that are energized when electricity is applied.


Why must you use an insulated copper wire for the coils of an electromagnetic?

So the wire doesn't short itself out. The electricity needs to go through all the windings individually.


What are electromagnets made from?

you get a magnetic maerial (mainly iron nail) and wrap copper wire around it and attach a baterie to the copper wire and there you have it, an electromagnet


What type of metal does coils have?

Most electrical coils and solenoids, use copper wire.


How does a car coil work?

An ignition coil is two loops or "Coils" of wire one inside the other. When you apply a current to the Coil of wire with less coils of wire it creates a magnetic Field. When the magnetic Field collapses when the electricity is removed this induces a current in both coils of wire. The coil that has just had the power removed from to a very small degree. To the other coil that has many more coils of wire the current induced is very high voltage. This causes the spark to jump the gap on the spark plug. To make this happen correctly the power must be turn on and of very quickly and cleanly.


How coils of wire can be used to wire a 3 bedroom self contained house?

If you have some coils of wire and a house that needs rewiring, an electrician is needed to complete the job. He/she would also know if the wire you have is the correct wire to use in the rewiring.


How do you wire 4 dual 4 ohm coils subs to one ohm mono?

If you wire all 4 coils parallel, you get 1 ohm (mono).


How is an electric magnet made?

An electromagnet can be made simply. When an electric current flows in a wire it creates a magnetic field around the wire. By winding the wire into a coil we can strengthen the magnetic field. Electromagnets are made from coils like this.
